What is the best way to kill weeds in paving? How scared should we really be of Japanese knotweed? And what is a weed anyway?
Biologist Ken Thompson set out to write a different kind of gardening column, one that tackles what he calls ‘the grit in the gardening oyster’. In this new collection he takes a look at some of the questions faced by gardeners everywhere in a bid to sort the truth from the wishful thinking.
Why are the beaks of British great tits getting longer? Which common garden insect owns a set of metal-tipped running spikes? Why might growing orange petunias land you in hot water? Are foxes getting bigger? How do you stop the needles falling off your Christmas tree?
This expert’s miscellany of (mostly) scientifically-tested garden lore will make you look at your garden through fresh eyes.
'Charming miscellany of rhymes and reflections celebrating the
garden' CHOICE *** The perfect bedside book for the green-fingered
- hilarious and touching poems on a gardening theme written and
introduced by the nation's favourite gardener and presenter of
ITV's Grow Your Own At Home and Love Your Garden, Channel 5's
Secrets of the National Trust and with his own show on Classic FM.
From touching poems on the peony, the snowdrop and the sweet pea to
hilarious verse on Emily the Gardener and the Garden Design Course,
this is Alan Titchmarsh's heartfelt and entertaining celebration of
his favourite space - the garden.
